CURLIN’S BEST 3-YEAR-OLD AT STUD

Bred top and bottom to be an outstanding sire, Exaggerator is the most accomplished 3-year-old son of 2-time Horse of the Year Curlin and is a Graded stakes winner over five different racetracks from 6 1/2 to 9 1/2 furlongs.

"Exaggerator, he was the extreme racehorse. He showed up to every big race, on different tracks, against all the horses, and prevailed in three Grade 1s. He retired sound, fit and healthy as a three time Grade 1 winning three-year-old, you couldn't ask for much more. We have accumulated a great group of Grade 1 and Grade 2-winning-or-producing mares; that's the quality we felt he deserved and what we sent to him."

—Michael Wallace, China Horse Club

"I also liked the Exaggerators. After the yearling sales were finished, I had a very positive feeling about him."

—Mike Ryan, TDN 3/13

"The Exaggerators are getting better with age, which is what I look for in a young stallion."

—Liz Crow

"He's as good as anything we have on the farm this year... I wish I had a dozen of them."

—Tristan de Meric

"Although I see Exaggerator as a stallion whose progeny will thrive at longer distances, he proved his mettle at a very early age, not to mention with a conservative handler in Keith Desormeaux. They were steady market sellers as weanlings to yearlings, and from what I've seen of thus far, they've evolved nicely as 2-year-olds, exhibiting good balance and aptitude, while selling reasonably well at the recently concluded OBS March sale. He's one to watch for sure."
